Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaWhilst the room was clean and fresh a few things had escaped a good clean… Toilet brush holder was grubby, although the rest of bathroom was very clean.And an empty water bottle in one of the bins. Fake plants had loads of dust on leaves. Pleased that the beds were fresh and clean. Whilst I can see some elements of the rooms had been updated, other aspects were quite dated/tired. But that’s being really picky. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
Didn’t have breakfast.

AustraliaFor those clean freaks out there like me - room wasn't super clean but is was doable and as already mentioned the smell in the room was noticeable but with the windows open and fresh air flowing through the room this was not an issue for more than a few minutes. We left our bags for a few hours after checking out and I felt they weren't really in a safe location - the were where the public could easily access.
A very large room that was mostly clean and a big comfy-ish bed. The windows opened which was good to get the smell of the cleaning products out of the room. The building itself was lovely and the location was awesome, close to. the South Melbourne Markets, public transport and the city. I would definitely recommend this as an option for those on a budget. We will choose to stay here again.

AustraliaLack of personal contact when checking in and out seems a bit impersonal but I guess is the way of the future. Sockets for usb would be good for those of us who forget to pack an adapter. Only water in the minibar, and no breakfast available, although with so many outlets along the street that isn’t really an issue.
The location is excellent with easy walking access to the shops and restaurants of South Melbourne market area. It was clear that the hotel is in a period of transition, I assume having been taken over and in the process of refurbishment. The diy check in process worked well, key in a numbered box with a code sent by email or sms and all the facilities were operational. It was clear that the room would be excellent when completely finished. I was given a deluxe king room which had loads of space and a separate area to prepare food and drinks.

SingaporeThe hotel offered basic accommodation and amenities. Dont expect 4 or. 5 star hotel service with room service. Some dust in the closet but that does not bother us or affecting our stay. if you are a light sleeper, you might want to bring ear plugs as you can hear light noise from the street.
The hotel reached out to us few days before arrival to organise check in. That’s very useful. Spacious room with small kitchenette. Bathroom was located separately from the room. Location is great, not too far from Melbourne cbd and tram is just outside the door. Plenty of cafes, restaurants, supermarkets nearby within walking distance. Albert park lake is 1.5km walk away. South Melbourne market is 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Nick the staff is courteous and friendly. You will need to inform the staff to request the room being cleaned. We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back again.

AustraliaCan be a bit noisy with road and foot traffic, but you are right amongst it so that is the trade off.
Location is great. 4 tram stops from Southern Cross station on the #12 tram, right outside the Hotel. Rooftop bar and nearby cafes are fantastic and the Sth Melbourne market. Great value, super comfy bed and nice bathroom. Would highly recommend

IndiaBeing an older building there wasn’t much sound proofing from the windows. We arrived quite late so the bar downstairs was shut. I can imagine you would hear the noise as we could hear street traffic. It didn’t affect our stay and I would stay again.
The room was huge! Included a sitting area with couch and sink with coffee/tea facilities. The beds were super comfy, slept really well. Easy to find, we arrived after hours but the instructions on how to get the keys were very clear. The area is awesome for food, coffee and shopping, all in walking distance.

United KingdomThe smell of oil/petrol in the entrance hall was slightly off putting until we spotted a fuel an hidden on a shelf which was probably the source.
Great location with an easy walk to local eateries and an amazing market. Tram stop very close and an easy walk to the centre. We were glad to be on the lower accommodation floor as we could still hear the rooftop bar music faintly.
